Description
The ip_address command is used to show and/or change the basic IP
addresses used by RedBoot. IP addresses may be given as numeric
values, e.g. 192.168.1.67, or as symbolic names such as www.redhat.com
if DNS support is enabled.
The -b option is used to cause the target to perform a bootp or dhcp negotiation to get an IP address.
The -l option is used to set the IP address used by
the target device. The network mask length can also be specified
The -h option is used to set the default server
address, such as is used by the load command.
The -d option is used to set the default DNS server
address which is used for resolving symbolic network addresses. Note
that an address of 0.0.0.0 will disable DNS lookups.
